Fine

So be it

Like I said…plenty of empathy within h these things

Except apparently he doesn’t want to work through it, and the fact that he hurtaway

Stupidhie door ruaht at hoh the first period before he conked out I lugged him upstairs and put hi rooly over the Titans and clinched the number one spot in the Eastern Conference

I went to bed after the ga to fall asleep so I could fast-forward to the next day I had no expectations that Zack would come to my room, but on the off chance he did, I was sure he’d wake o to sleep I tossed and turned and fretted over Zack I want him I want him as a lover, but I want more from him too I can’t deny that, but I can suppress it I would suppress it because Zack doesn’t want that and has been very clear It’s caused so to walk away yet

The garage door goes down and I listen carefully Withon the second floor, I can’t really hear h the kitchen…tossing e Casually strolling back to his bedrooh I don’t like that i away from me I need to make him see that I can be available for what he needs and only what he needs I can stay within the boundaries and he has to respect ive that a chance

I toss s out of bed I’avewere a few silk nighties Nothing overtly sexual, but they weren’t your grand now is really pretty and I think it goes ithIt’s pale pink, hetti straps and has crea over the material that sits at e intoZack is in his bedroo et a snack That’s all Quick in and out, just like I did with the ice cream

And, if you’re lucky, Zack will still be in the kitchen, I think with no small amount of shame

I don’t take the back staircase into the kitchen but rather the front that leads down into the foyer and provides me a peek at Zack’s bedroom door I make it halfway down the stairs and I see that his bedroom door is open and it’s absolutely dark in there

So he h the living room, but before I enter the kitchen, I see the door that leads into the basehts are on down there I can’t hear anything, but I know that’s where Zack is I wonder if ain, orholds ht I want to confront hihtie and get a reaction fro a move on me And if he doesn’t, at least I’ll know that the door on that opportunity to be with hialloping with exciteht into the base leather chair, both hands sitting casually on the ars stretched out in front of hiaze is pinned on the floor I can tell…he’s come down here to just sit and think To be alone It’s written all over his posture and the thoughtful look on his face as he ponders the carpeting

I take a step forward and the aze rises slowly, running upa moment on my breasts and finally up to my face

Our eyes lock and I see a ithin his eyes I see desire flickering right along with uncertainty and anger

"Go to bed, Kate," he says tiredly

Not tired because of the game or the late hour, but I can tell…tired because of that war he’s fighting

I don’t respond, but instead walk toward hiers curl into the edge of the armrest His hips roll and adjust deeper into the chair and his eyes sweep down and up ?" he asks thickly as I cross the floor

Words are a waste, in my opinion, and only open this situation up for debate if Zack wants to fight what’s going on between us So I walk right up to hi in the soft satin as it brushes against ht between those shiny black dress shoes he has on, and his legs spread slightly

"Kate," Zack warns in a low voice

I lower to s to spread apart farther to let hs I feel the heat of hiray dress pants, and his muscles contract and then relax under my touch
